The Virginia Beer Museum’s dedication to our beer heritage.

From the first ale brewed in Jamestown in the early 1600s to the craft beer renaissance of today, the Virginia Beer Museum in Front Royal both celebrates and tells the story of the Commonwealth’s beer heritage. Inside, visitors find rooms full of memorabilia from various brewing milestones, such as George Washington’s “small beer” recipe, while outside they can sip on local craft beers from one of the tasting room’s 18 taps and raise a glass to the museum’s central mission: to combine history, community, and beer.
